    average cleanliness

    Had a lovely night at this hotel! Enjoyed relaxing by the sun terrace and in the cozy lounge area, which really added to the chill vibe. While the cleanliness could've been a bit better, it didn't sour my overall experience—definitely recommend grabbing breakfast early! 😊

    charming haven
    delicious breakfast

    The details you care about most

    Charming little haven with character! Breakfast is a true highlight, featuring made-to-order omelets and fresh fruit. The unique decor with traditional Costa Rican artifacts adds a refreshing touch. Staff? Super friendly and helpful! Just a short walk to vibrant eateries and a bustling farmer's market. An excellent choice for a cozy experience!

    delightful breakfast
    excellent location
    noisy courtyard
    unclean sheets
    lack of adequate towels

    Enjoyed a delightful breakfast with freshly made omelettes and a variety of fruits, showcasing local delights. The location in the heart of the vibrant Barrio Escalante provided easy access to restaurants and markets, making it a fantastic spot for food lovers. However, the lack of adequate towels and the excessive noise from outside disrupted our rest during the second night, and discovering unclean sheets upon arrival was disappointing. Overall, the ambiance and staff were commendable, yet some cleanliness issues need attention.

    great breakfast
    beautiful terrace
    noise levels

    great breakfast , but noise levels could improve

    The breakfast served was truly remarkable, featuring high-quality ingredients and a freshly made variety that stood out during our time in Costa Rica. Additionally, the terrace offered a lovely garden view, where we enjoyed watching birds and squirrels while dining.

    Noise levels from nearby areas were a bit distracting at times.

    I loved my stay at Hotel Aranjuez! The rustic charm captivated me, and the lush garden area provided a perfect spot for relaxation. The breakfast exceeded my expectations. A small noise issue from the restaurant area occurred, but it didn't spoil my experience.

    great breakfast
    nice terrace
    noisy restaurant

    Had an awesome time with my friends! The breakfast was hands down one of the best we tried, and we loved the open terrace surrounded by plants. We even visited nearby gardens and local markets. Just a heads up, the rooms can be a bit small, so plan accordingly.

    Our experience was slightly marred by noise from a nearby restaurant late at night, which made it hard to sleep.

    basic room

    Cozy stay with amazing breakfast!

    I had a lovely night here! The staff was super nice and made me feel right at home. The breakfast spread was incredible—so many tasty options to choose from! Only thing is, the room was a bit basic and didn’t have hot water. Still, it was a comfy place to crash for my overnight.

    comfortable beds
    squeaky floor
    lacking comfort

    Comfortable beds made for a pleasant night's sleep.

    Our stay was quite disappointing. The hardwood floor was incredibly squeaky in the passageways, which disturbed my sleep at night. I found the accommodations overall to be lacking in comfort and quality, especially for the price we paid. It was frustrating to experience such noise interruptions during what was supposed to be a relaxing getaway.

    incredible breakfast
    creative options
    helpful staff
    hot water issue
    uncomfortable shower

    The breakfast here was absolutely incredible and definitely one of the highlights of my stay. The staff takes great care in presenting the food, offering various creative options that made breakfast a delight. However, I did face issues with the hot water, particularly on the first night, which was quite uncomfortable after traveling all day.

    The hotel has a unique charm with beautiful gardens and artistic decor throughout the rooms. While the breakfast was varied and delicious, the noise from the restaurant could be bothersome. Overall, it’s a cozy place to stay with friendly staff and plenty of character.
